The dual shocks are gonna suck. There is absolutitely no reason you need 8 shocks on your car. Compete how? That car is a HB Lightening 10 which itself wasn't very good at being a 1:10 4wd ST. The Losi is a mini 8ight while this design is years old. I see no competation other than price.
I kinda agree with this. Its a 1/10 ST and seeing it looks similar to the MT2 I'm going to guess its under 10lbs. I've never seen my MT2 shocks compress far enough to warrant 2 shocks per tire, this is especially true with the thick tires which will absorb a god chunk of the impact.

I wish HPI would make something new and original under their name not just recycle old outdated, discontinued, and failed hot bodies designs like they have been recently.
8 shocks is what some mfg's put on their basher cars to make newbies think, "Wow, that car has 8 shocks while the other one only has 4!" It might sound stpud, but alot of people think that way.

The only good HB design is their D8/D8T series.
